CyberShift Featured in PayStream Advisors' Travel and Expense Management Adoption Benchmarking Survey Report
Tighter Budgets, Stricter Protocols Drive Transition to Automation
| Source: CyberShift, Inc.
PARSIPPANY, NJ--(Marketwire - March 2, 2010) - CyberShift, a global provider of workforce
management and
expense management software and services, today announced its inclusion
in PayStream Advisors' Technology Insight Series research report, "Travel &
Expense Management (TEM) Adoption Benchmarking Survey." The report features
a profile of CyberShift Expense™, a complete and configurable
full-service solution for travel and expense management automation, along
with a case study about CyberShift client Oakwood Worldwide, a global
provider of temporary housing. The case study illustrates how Oakwood
transitioned from manual processes to the CyberShift Expense solution to
automate more than 11,000 annual travel and expense management reports.
According to PayStream Advisors' survey, today's tighter budgets and an
increasingly regulatory economic environment are two of the reasons more
businesses are turning to automated travel and expense (T&E) management
solutions. The report revealed that while fewer than 25 percent of
responding companies have automated T&E processes today, the potential for
automation is significant. These adopters are benefiting from lower
processing costs, improved visibility and better enforcement of company
policies.
PayStream Advisors' Research Director, Sush Koka, said, "Paper is slowly
becoming a thing of the past for T&E management. The emphasis on corporate
cost containment and fraud mitigation during the past few years has
prompted accounts payable professionals to seek new ways to automate
traditionally paper-based and labor-intensive expense reimbursement
processes. Automated travel and expense management solutions streamline
the expense submission and reimbursement cycle to meet these new
requirements for efficiency and control."
"PayStream's report is further validation that the time is right for
companies to transition from manual to automated T&E management," commented
Craig Fearon, senior product director, Expense Applications, CyberShift.
"Automating this critical business process enables companies to better
control costs and improve employee satisfaction while driving compliance
with government regulations."
Fearon continued, "The return on investment is readily apparent -- with
CyberShift Expense, a typical customer can reduce processing time and costs
by nearly 60 percent within a few months."
CyberShift Expense, an easy-to-use Web-based solution, streamlines the
entire expense management process, from pre-approval to submission to
reimbursement, and can process all employee business expenses including
fleet, cell phone, p-card and more. Expense report submission and
management approval can be done via a standard Web browser or on a
BlackBerry®.
